Master Closet Reveal

The chandelier is up in my closet. 
I am in love! 

It's been a week and my closet is still neat as a pin. 

 If I take the time to organize and decorate a space, I'm more likely to keep it clean. 

Closets and cupboards are my nemesis. 

Most of the outward stuff in our house is neat and organized but be careful opening a door. 

It's scary! 
This is how the closet looked most of the time. 

 This closet has always been disfunctional. 
The upper clothes rack was too high for me to reach so things got stuck up there that I didn't really wear. 
Bill is convinced I am a clothes hoarder.

All four of the racks were full of hanging clothes.

All the shelves had stuff on them and the dresser in our room was stuffed as well.

I had way too many clothes and it was time to purge.

Once it was empty I scraped the popcorn and rearranged the furnishings.

Instead of paint, I papered the walls with this silver and white circular pattern. 

It's different from anything else in the house.

I don't always have tulips in my closet but when I do, it's for a blog post.

The upper rack on the left came down so I won't be tempted to refill it.

Two different towers on each end create a counter-like 

 space in the middle for jewelry, nail polish and other pretties. 

A utilitarian shelf bracket got replaced with a pretty one from Hobby Lobby.

 This started out black but white looked better in this space. 

These are wonderful brackets for only $3.98 each but I don't think Hobby Lobby has them anymore.

Not having a wall of clothes here opens up the space and makes the closet feel significantly larger.

I moved my shoe cubbie and drawers from under the mirror to the nook on the right side. 

 The the laminate storage components came from Lowes several years ago.   

Everything just stacks on top of one another.

 New chrome handles replace the plastic ones that came with the drawer unit.

 

I still have plenty of space on this side to hang my lacey tops.

I love a lacey top!

All the edges of the shelves got painted to clean things up.

The totes full of off season clothes got lined with leftover wallpaper. 

The dowel from the shelf we installed after we moved in finally got a coat of paint to make it look neater.  

The black screws that we used to hang the brackets got a dot of white paint to make them disappear. 

The chandelier with three bulbs is brighter than what I had before.

I recommend this fixture from Home Depot even though it is acrylic. 

It has a lot of pretty detail and sparkle. 

It's perfect for glamming up a girly closet.
